Fallen Cradle

(‘Wild Redemption’ series: Book 1)
Alan Riske

After the West has fallen, life goes on. So do the dead.

Jack may be the face of justice in the decrepit city of Elugal, but his heart just isn’t in being Sheriff any more. Haunted by the manifest ghosts of his past, he doesn’t fear the wetwork given to him by Elugal’s paranoid ruler.

Then Jack is set up for a deadly fall and the true fate of his wife is thrown into question. He flees the city, swearing to turn over a new leaf and to discover the terrifying truth of his wife’s tragic disappearance. But old habits die hard when he realises that he is being chased by something far more horrifying than just his memories…

They said it was suicide.He doesn’t believe a word of it.

A colossal cordon wall holds a mostly forgotten city in the east of England under quarantine: nobody knows what happened with those ducks, and nobody seems to care.

Newspaper editor Marcus Cockburn is finding it harder and harder to give a damn about his life and work, but when his secret lover is murdered, he begins to regret wishing for more excitement in the city. As he clumsily chases the truth surrounding her death, his questionable, inept decisions take him out of his depth, until he will eventually give anything – even his morals – to reclaim those little things in life that he once felt so boring.
